The new Information Channel implemented in the December Software Upgrade is a good idea and it would be great if Administrators could use a similar box to post notices to specific users as well. At the moment, Administrators have to resort to the dashboards to relay messages but most users prefer to be redirected to "My dashboard" when they log on. Also, only the main School Dashboard and "My dashboard" can be set up as default log-in landing pages, which makes things even more difficult.

When adding a manual assessment to the grade book, many of the functionalities that are available to "existing elements" are not present. It would be extremely useful, for instance, to be able to "assess multiple" and to have a proper editing box for the comments as well.

At the moment, teachers can print individual grade books but it would be great if:

1. They could print all students' grade books with one click (we need to enter each of them and then print; this is a long process if you have big groups)
2. They could also print the teacher's overview of the grade book in one single document
3. Print all terms/sections of the grade book at the same time (if you have divided your grade book into 4 different sections you need to enter into EACH of these sections in order to print them; in a class of 25 students this is a 100-step process!) I realised I could select "All periods" in order to show all sections of the grade book on the same screen. This reduces the problem considerably. (How did I miss this?!)

When searching for courses in the course section of the administration tab it is difficult to find what you are looking for unless you know the exact name of the course. For example, if I'm looking for a Chemistry course but the exact name of the course is "Mrs Nowhere Chemistry", typing Chemistry will not include this particular course in the list of results. This is particularly frustrating for administrators when they are trying to locate a course in order to sort out a problem. Searches should work exactly in the same way as the "Ideas portal" works ;)

Last week I was asked by the head of the junior school to prevent students from creating and accesing chats in projects. Obciously this should be as simple as disabling the Conference tool in the administration area but, to my surprise, this is just not possible. The only solution was to disable Projects alltogether and now the whole school has been barred from having their own personal area to store files and colaborate with other users. Such a simple omission in the administration option is having very serious consequences for the school community. Could you please implement the option for administrators to disable modules/elements independently?
